Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains' natural beauty, on a lake that’s been used as the setting for more than one movie, the Lodge on Lake Lure offers a quiet, romantic mountain retreat. The upscale inn has 17 cozy rooms, most offering unobstructed lake views, often best taken in from private rocking chairs on a shaded terrace. The restaurant serves an extensive free, Southern-inspired breakfast daily, as well as a prix fixe dinner (for a fee) four nights a week. A veranda overlooking the lake offers outdoor dining in good weather. The hotel is relatively self-contained, but there’s no pool or fitness center -- though there is a lake, with canoes -- and guests will have to venture out for dinner on the nights the restaurant is closed.
